Sources from Patna have stated that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath appears to have reservations. In Bihar's Darbhanga for a function to mark three years of the Narendra Modi government, the Chief Minister commended the Prime Minister's practice of gifting Bhagwad Gita and the Indian epic Ramayan to foreign dignitaries.
Earlier Yogi Adityanath said the Presidents and Prime Ministers of India would
gift souvenirs and the gifts which are given to them were Agra's Taj Mahal and
it has no connection with the Indian culture and tradition.
Moreover Yogi Adityanath said that "This is the first time this has happened that when India's Prime minister Narendra Modi goes abroad, or any foreign president visits India, he is gifted the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita or Ramayan". He added whenever Ramayan is gifted to any foreign president, it shows the history of Bihar. Indian is a country with rich heritage as eminent poets and pundits.
Meanwhile when speaking on his “anti-Muslim” image, Adityanath said that “The Muslim people feel safe and secure under the BJP rule in Uttar Pradesh and that sufficiently answers questions raised. Even Muslim women say that they are safe under the BJP rule.”
